Matt Viggiano is in his 10th year leading his alma mater's men's soccer program in 2016.

In 2015, the Red Foxes finished the season with a record of 7-9-2 with an even better 5-3-2 in MAAC play, earning the #3 seed in the conference tournament in Orlando, Florida.

2011 was a year to remember for Viggiano and the Red Foxes as he saw Krystian Witkowski close his decorated career as the school's first-ever MLS draftee when he was chosen by the Philadelphia Union in the Second Round of the Supplemental Draft. Freshman Matt Wendelken also became the first ever Marist athlete to represent the school on the U.S. level as he participated at the U.S. Under-20 National Team Camp. After two consecutive seasons of .500 soccer, the Red Foxes finished their 2011 campaign with a 8-7-5 record and an appearance in the MAAC Tournament semifinals.

In addition to their continued maturation on the field, the Red Foxes have excelled in the classroom under Viggiano. The team received the NCAA public recognition award in 2008 and 2009, placing it in the top 10 percent of all men's soccer programs in the country. The squad has garnered two ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District Awards from Chris Nacca and Joe Touloumis and has amassed 20 MAAC All-Academic Team selections. In 2009, Touloumis was named Marist's ninth Academic All-American by ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA and the first men's soccer player to earn the award. In 2013, six Red Foxes were named to the MAAC All-Academic team: Matel Anasta, Steven Arraiano, Matty Berman, Connor Flatley, Connor Preece and MJ Stellwag.

During the 2009 season Viggiano led the team to a new level of success. The Red Foxes were ranked in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) North Atlantic Region during eight out of 10 weeks of the regular season, the most in program history. The team placed as high as third on the list after consecutive one-goal road wins at Army and Drexel. Marist began the 2009 season with a record of 3-0-1, the team's best start since 2003. Individually, three players garnered weekly awards from the MAAC on five occasions during the regular season.

The Red Foxes' defense was able to keep them in the game each time out. Marist ranked third in the MAAC in shutouts (six), goals against average (1.24) and goals allowed (23, 1.28 per game). Against conference foes, the Red Foxes had individuals rank in the top two in points, points per game, goals, goals per game, and assists. Additionally, Viggiano's players led the league in game-winning goals and saves.

In November 2006 Viggiano became just the third coach in Marist men's soccer history by replacing his mentor Bobby Herodes. Viggiano began his coaching career serving under Herodes and helped form the nucleus of the first Marist team to qualify for the NCAA tournament in 2000. His coaching experience includes two stints as an assistant at his alma mater (1998-99, and 2002-05) as well as stops as the head coach at Marywood University and SUNY Purchase and assistant positions at Iona and Elmira College.

Viggiano earned a bachelor's degree in American Studies from Marist in 1999 and a master's degree in Health and Physical Education with a concentration in sport management from East Stroudsburg University in 2003.

The Mamaroneck, N.Y., native holds National and Advanced National diplomas from the NSCAA and has coached extensively at the club level in addition to his experience with the Olympic Development Program.
